1 THE LONG TOOTH CIRCLE (LTC) A Camp Alumni Association and Benevolent Society of the Cornhusker Council #324 Founded October 2013 Revision #5 April 17 The Long Tooth Circle is an alumni association organization of adult Scouters of the Cornhusker Council and Out of Council Alumni formed to perpetuate Camp Cornhusker. GOAL To establish an organized group of Scouters who will commit to support Camp Cornhusker with volunteer labor and donations so that Camp Cornhusker can be sustained for future generations. MISSION - Maintain Camp Cornhusker s unique reputation with the manpower and funds needed for the continuation of an excellent camping experience through innovative programs that challenge both younger and older Scouts. VISION Scouters from across the Council and Camp Alumni join the Long Tooth Circle to support Camp Cornhusker through volunteer time and donations to foster a sense of ownership. 1. OBJECTIVE To establish a structure, based on the Camp s Mountain Man Program, that will appeal to Scouters and be an encouragement for them to join the Circle. 2. OBJECTIVE Use the LTC to encourage participation as Camp Staff and in other Council related groups i.e. Order of the Arrow, Wood Badge, high adventure bases, National Camping School, Jamborees, Alumni Associations, Philmont Training Center, etc. 3. OBJECTIVE Use the LTC to raise funds and labor to sustain the Camp and support new programs. The LTC will not be in competition with already established Council fund raising programs since it is focused solely on the maintenance and perpetuation of Camp Cornhusker. 4. OBJECTIVE Use the LTC to advise, plan and institute innovative Camp programs while supporting ongoing Camp operations. It is hoped members of the LTC would be also become members of the Council s Camping Committee. CONCEPTS - The LTC will be a logical extension of the already established Mountain Man Program (MMP). All titles/names earned in the MMP will be retained. A beaver tooth will be added to the Camp Gee-Gah already in use to signify membership in the Circle. In keeping with the Mountain Man theme of Camp Cornhusker adults are expected to wear appropriate regalia of the Mountain Man era at Wednesday s Rendezvous and to the LTC meeting afterwards. Regalia and other LTC articles will be available for purchase in the Camp Trading Post or can be home made. The official regalia of the LTC Lodge will be: appropriate Mountain Man gear and Gee-Gah. All organizations of the

2 Council are considered and participation/membership in included for advancement in the LTC. Therefore the LTC will not be in competition with any existing program but complement them all. The LTC exists solely to perpetuate Camp Cornhusker. HOW THE LTC WILL FUNCTON The main LTC camp meeting will take place every Wednesday night at Camp right after Rendezvous. Only the members of the LTC will gather and go through the ceremony, which stresses the ideals of Scouting. Helpful suggestions will be aired concerning Camp operations for that week and taken into consideration by the Camp Staff. Advancement in the LTC will be awarded at this time with new members being admitted. The business meeting will take place in the Fall after Camp. It is at this time that all LTC members will gather to go over the Camp program for the coming year prior to the next year s Camp Guide being published - guidance will be given to the Camp Staff and lessons learned discussed as well as information disseminated and new LTC officers elected. The Fall meeting is open to all interested Scouters. LTC members should also consider attending the Council s Camping Committee meetings. OFFICES IN THE LTC Members serve in the following positions: BOOSAY Officiates at the LTC Ceremony & Meeting KEEPER OF THE BOOK Secretary & keeper of service hours for advancement KEEPER OF THE FURS - Treasurer CEREMONIAL Security, assist Boosay in Ceremony. ADVANCEMENT in the LTC: Advancement points are earned based upon service to the Council in ways that support Camp Cornhusker, directly or indirectly. Advancement is also based upon monetary donations in lieu of hands on involvement.

Let us, in the words of the highwayman, have your money or your life. Service points for advancement in the LTC will be determined via service projects, meeting attendance, function attendance i.e. attend OA functions, attend WB dinner, Council/District dinners, roundtables etc. Service points will be reported to the Keeper of the Book and tabulated at the Fall LTC meeting.
